Why this work matters
Every animal tells a story.
Millions of stories become shared intelligence. Intelligence becomes action. Action protects animals, people, and the planet we share.
Our mission
Our vision
The challenge
Threats to wildlife cross borders. Wildlife health data often do not.
The problem
Threats move faster than we notice them
Disease, toxin exposure, and a changing climate can show up in wild animals first. By the time a pattern is obvious, it has usually already spread.
The gap
Each observer sees one small piece
For decades, wildlife rehabilitation records remained on paper, in spreadsheets, or within individual organizations - valuable locally, but invisible to the broader wildlife health community.
The answer
A shared intelligence network
When every clinic records care data the same way, individual observations contribute to a broader picture of wildlife health.
The network effect
Every record makes the whole system smarter
A wildlife rehabilitator in one town admits a sick raptor. During the same week, twelve other centers across the state do the same. Alone, each raptor admitted is a patient. Together, they are an early warning that warrants investigation.
Wildlife care, recorded together, becomes wildlife intelligence. The more of us who take part, the earlier we see what is coming, and the better we can respond.
Stewardship
The trusted steward of the world’s largest clinical wildlife health dataset.
Trust is the whole foundation. These are the principles we hold ourselves to, and that let 2,500+ organizations share what they see.
Wildlife rehabilitators own their records
Every organization controls its own patient data. We are the steward, never the owner.
Shared in aggregate
Network-wide insight comes from de-identified, aggregated data, never from exposing an individual clinic or case.
Open to science
Researchers and agencies can collaborate on the data, with clear agreements and credit to the people who collected it.
Never sold
We are a nonprofit. The data exists to protect wildlife, not to be monetized.
Help every story count.
Your support helps turn millions of individual wildlife records into shared intelligence that can protect animals, people and the planet we share.
